'Where's Katie?' Neighbors question why it took months to find woman's body in her Mpls home

https://kstp.com/5-investigates/they-kept-asking-wheres-katie-now-neighbors-question-why-it-took-months-to-find-the-womans-body-inside-her-minneapolis-home/

Police were already familiar with the house. They had it boarded up six months earlier after they first searched for Katie.

Records obtained by 5 INVESTIGATES would later reveal a failure by police to follow up on repeated concerns over Katie’s wellbeing.

Those records, as well as interviews with neighbors and experts, confirmed that police also failed to alert the city officials who could have found her sooner.

“I’m sure she laid there probably waiting on somebody to help her,” said Collins, who lived next door. “And nobody never came.”

Besides attack and kill innocent people?

Heard about a newly wed couple got into an argument in the afternoon here in very rural east TN. The husband went off into the woods. The wife was worried because he had talked about suicide. She called the cops. They found him. He had climbed up into a tree. They shot him in his upper arm and he fell out of the tree breaking his leg and wrist.

He's in the hospital now recovering from a gunshot wound and fractures. Why did they shoot him? He was all in one piece before they shot him. He had no weapons on him at all, not even a knife.

Why are we paying for such stupidity?

when Homer gets a gun. He uses it to do everything by shooting it, like turning out light, turning the channel on TV.

Those idiot cops probably thought that was the only way to get him down from the tree.

Even I don't judge all PD's by what Minneapolis PD does. They are truly deplorable.
